Today we’re going to do a deep dive into the process of converting a vintage Specialized Hardrock from flat bars to drop bars.
This type of project might be a nice way for you to experience a ‘new’ bike during the global shortage we’re seeing. It completely changed the ride feel and now I want to ride it more than my other bikes! In the video I mention tools:

...And I talk about handlebar sizing standards. The clamp diameter can vary between products so you want to make sure that if you run a 31.8mm bar, you also run a 31.8mm stem. These are the ones that I’m using in this build:

Thank you for watching!
